Do you have a link for the salt?
A little tid bit about that heavy of acidic vinegar. I work for a food manufacturing facility. We make our own vinegar... it is industrial strength vinegar. A lot of the workers will take some home here and there for weeds but a word of warning: Using it (at least, ours) on concrete will etch and deteriorate it! So if you're spraying a sidewalk, your foundation walls, etc.. it will deteriorate that concrete. Our stuff is very strong... will dissolve galvanized pipe.... so , be careful!
Even regular vinegar will start to degrade pavers. The ones on either side of my driveway took a bit of a hit. But, I will not use R/U. But, definitely be careful with brick-type pavers. * mine were already old, however, so …?
thanks, glad I read the comments 👍, I will just use weed killer thanks
@@2990rick boil the kettle and pour it over the weeds, that's how l kill them, clean and earth friendly 👍
@@chucky6367 I did that! After removed the big weed, especially the woody ones first! Table salt also good for just between the tight gaps!
how long does it take for new weed to start growing in the same spot?
You for got to mention - Do not store vinegar in your sprayer. The rubber seals & o-rings will swell & disintegrate.
Rinse out the sprayer after each use.
In that case... I continue to use cleaned empty SQUIRT bottles that contained my liquid dishwashing soap. Eliminates worrying about corroding anything and no problem replacing it with a new squirt bottle.
Didn't know that.
That is true! It ate my little spray bottle from Home Depot. 😢
darth - forgot
Would one be ok if after using the solution one takes off the pump part (and the spraying tube), thoroughly rinses/cleans it, store it separately, and cover the holes of the container with something else until the next time needed?
Perfection. And no stupid music, just good advice on how to get rid of weeds and make sidewalks, driveways neat looking. Thanks.
I will add some cowbell on the background. You can never have enough of it.
"no stupid music" just means he has little to no video editing skills.
It's possible to make an informative, high quality video with background music, animations, subtitles etc AND keep your attention. You just have to know what you're doing with video editing.
I think it's generational. Older people don't like the editing and music.
@@Keturah53 I'm with you!
@@whatever833 I know young people that hate it too. No need to use any for a info video.
I use self leveling caulk. It was developed for exactly this type of application. Works better, looks better, less messy, lasts longer and will not grow mildew like a lot of caulks will do.
please advise which one you used. Thx.
@@hdwin3217 I use Siaflex.
@@divindave6117 Sikaflex.
@@stevehollywood1 Yeah, that Sikaflex stuff is a miracle in a bottle. The concrete company I used to work for used it, and it did an amazing job every time.
I have been using this mixture with regular vinegar for the past 10 years. My neighbors all thought I was nuts, as they were and continue to use Round-Up! On a hot and sunny day, it didn’t take long until they were dead down to the root. I’m not saying this is proof I’m not nuts, but (lol) works like a charm, and is safe for the environment! I can’t understand why anyone would ever use R/U again. It is quick to mix, and as far as I can tell, an excellent natural way to go! Thanks!
So you just used standard distilled vinegar you can buy off your grocer's shelf and not the stuff the original poster mentioned?
Round-Up should be outlawed everywhere in the world...
What ratio do you use?
@@jgehbinv that's what I use.
Hello, just one question, does it have to be sea salt or normal salt will work too?

I was not aware off concentrated vinegar. I have used regular vinegar before and the results were ok. This looks better.
But it will kill grass, anything living.
@@Donna-cc1kt you only spray it on what you want to kill.
Honestly theres no need for this sort of stuff. Sprinkle some salt and lightly spray with water so it doesnt blow away, and the weeds absorb it.
When its all dead, use a pointing trowel to clear out the joint. Then use a 3-1 DRY mix of sand/cement and use a soft brush to apply into the joints. Lightly brush the mix over the joints until level, and off the surface area, then a spray of water to create capillary action and form the mortar bond.
Love this video. It's an actual video without being all fancy. Nice and simple to follow
Thanks for watching. 😎👍
Wow. Impressive. I had my doubts that this would work better than Round Up. Not only does this homemade mixture work better, it works so much faster too. Results matter. Thanks for the video.
That’s great to hear and we appreciate you sharing this. You’re spot on, results matter! 😎👍
Phenomenal job! We also use vinegar mixed with soap for killing off weeds! One little note; if you are doing this, make sure you apply your solution during 2-3 days of good weather/ no rain for optimal results 😌👍
Thank you, that means the world to us. Awesome advice and we appreciate you sharing this.

Thanks for this video. I made a mixture with 1L of water, 400ml vinegar essence, 1 cup of sea salt and 1 tbsp dr bronner's liquid soap. Worked great 👍
Amazing, we appreciate you sharing this. Weeds DO NOT like this mixture…
Your mixture sounds just as concerning to weeds…😁👍
I find the weeds around them look beautiful. I never weed them away. Live and let live. The obsesion for clean, neat atras outside is excesive in my opinion. Life is everywhere and that's the way l like it.
Atrás, i meant Areas 😂
I wish more people thought like you. My weeds feed bees and birds. Full of life. Nature is beautiful.
I used to mix cement and sand to form mortar and would then use my hands to rub it in. This is definitely less messy! Thank you.
You are very welcome, we appreciate you sharing this. Mixing cement & sand will definitely create a solid that grass can’t grow through...
😎👍
I did this a few years ago and it worked great! Also help from water getting under the concreate and friezing causing damage. I put sand on top of the caulk while it was still wet and then swept it off when dry. Gave it a better color.
I use vinegar, salt in two mixes, one for weeds, the other for unblocking drains. With the Drains I add baking soda, tbs,of salt, tbs. Of baking soda, pour vinegar…fizz, pop, cleared! More if using on large drains, this amount is for sinks, shower drains. Vintage and salt for weeds. It sterilises the soil where directed. 👍👍👍

Baking soda will make it fizz but what is it that you are trying to accomplish? It is not releasing a gas that will blast through a clogged drain since there is no buildup of pressure in the pipe.
For the clean finish i saw tilers spraying the silicon with soap water and then puling and pushing an ice cream stick along creating very neat and even finish.
Thanks for watching and sharing this. Any helpful info is greatly appreciated.
😎👍🧰
You can take a weed eater and hold it sideways and clean out all the weeds, no chemicals required, would be a good idea to pressure wash the surface and let it dry before applying caulk. The caulk will shrink, so apply it generously.
I used to pour boiling hot water on weeds, worked well, but i like the solution you made, keeps me from accidentally scalding myself

charles - No, you don't.
I recently learned about using this vinegar (purchased from Amazon). After many years of repeatedly spraying weeds and pulling them out over the spring and summer, I decided to try this. It works exactly as shown here. I had hoped it would also kill the ants, but they are still around. Maybe the caulk will help that problem.
I wore rubber gloves, a mask and eye protection. Even though I didn’t do this on a windy day, it’s not something you want to inhale or get on your skin.
Why not get it on your skin? Vinegar is just bad wine!
@@fillhixx it’s 45% acidic, not like household vinegar at all. If you do some research on Google it explains it very well.

I use the traditional sand and a broom. Works fine, just as long as you can get it together to bend down a couple of times during the summer to pick out a few persistent plants, then just touch up your work with a little sand. Pleasant to do and no chemistry or other substances out into nature. 2 cents.
I use a similar method. Works well, at least for a season.
Did you know that when you use a broom you are ‘sweeping’ or maybe even ‘brushing’ the weeds away, not ‘brooming’?

I'd use a string trimmer first to allow the spray to get down into the roots better.
Thanks for watching, not a bad idea.
One thing to note is that SALT is VERY BAD FOR SOIL. Once it washes off & drains away into your soil it will be very bad for plants there.
Therefore, careful use & awareness of where the salt will eventually end up is required.

I found that using salt with vinegar in a pump spray only lasts for so long before the salt blocks the sprayer then you have to take the spray nozzle apart to clean out time consuming. I now resort to white vinegar it does the job just as good.

Normal vinegar works and you don't need the salt or dish soap. Give the plants you want to kill a drink early in the morning before the plant has had time to start drinking up any water in the soil. You want the plant drinking the vinegar.

I've been doing this for years it's my job so forget the above and..... .Rake out all the old weeds,moss etc.Rake out and loose pointing to at least 15mm depth .Sweep out all dust with brush or use a hose then leave to dry, or if you're cleaning and jet washing the slabs do so at this stage prior to pointing. Then when the joint are dry{might take days depending on weather etc..} fill with semi wet{so it just holds together not too wet} 3 or 4 parts sharp sand to 1 part cement making sure you pack it down the joint well using th side of a small pointing trowel then fill the joints right up.When almost dry use a wire brush to take off loose cement so it makes the finish level with the top of the slab - and not below like in the video above.Then stiff brush off any cement smears.The secret is as you pack down the cement mix make sure it sticks to the side of the slabs.A flush finish is better than a recessed as leaves and water won't lay in the joints like they would if the finish was a few mm below the top of the slab.Remember houses are build using sand and cement and if done right will last decades.
i bought some of that concrete caulk at Home Depot and they must not sell it too much because it was old and hard as a rock so i would check the tubes for an expiration date.
Thanks for the Vid, I am currently de-weeding my yard but I have a Pergola and there are weeds growing in the gaps of the steps, when I pull them up they pull up more, so I will use your technique of Caulk, I just need to remove these weeds first and hope I can get this...
Thanks for sharing this, great idea. Looking forward to hearing back from you on how it works.
I did that exact method. It worked until the next few rains and then the weeds grew back.
Bacon fat worked. It seals the soil & weeds won’t grow.

I've used vinegar on its own with the same results.
Though the addition of salt will help make it more long-lasting. Just be careful the salty mix doesn't leach into nearby plants, as salt is a real plant killer.
This is great I’ve brought the most expensive weed killer which doesn’t work so your video is like a breath of fresh air thankyou can’t wait to try it out
One of my dickhead neighbors was spraying my driveway without my permission with round up. I found that idea of the vinegar mixture and it works. I didn't know I could seal the driveway like that!

If you can warm you vineger (outside), the salt will disolve easier.

You'll find that it's the sodium, or salt, that's the main killer. Probably no need for the other ingredients, but one would have to do a test by pouring salt on the weeds and seeing what happens. My father in law is a retired landscape gardener and he says salt kills most things, just don't expect anything else to grow there for a while!

Wow. What a freekin awesome video. Thank you so much! I'm pulling my hair out on trying to get rid of the constant weeds growing between the cracks of my cement square "tiles" on my whole patio. I have surrounding gardens and such with lots of bees and hummingbirds. I don't want to use the poison weed killer. But, for 3 years now, the non toxic products don't work. I've spent so much money.

my dad had a brick sidewalk that was old and not really level so you could not shovel it down to the ground he just threw salt on sidewalk every storm and people were amazed how he never had any weeds in the cracks between the bricks of course they say it is not really good for concrete with freeze thaw but I wonder if you just put some in cracks would it keep weeds from growing.

I used regular vinegar for years. I upgraded to cleaning strength vinegar when I learned it existed. I hoped that would eventually eliminate the weeds for good. I didn’t know how to fill the gaps. This process brings it to a whole new level. My challenge is my 30-plus year old patio is made of very thin “bricks” more like sheets of concrete. Besides the weeds I have sandy soil pushing up. Will the caulk hold with the soil issue? Before I embark on a project that would be physically challenging for me, what do you think I can reasonably expect? I would only be able to do a few gaps at a time so it would take a while to determine the end results. Thanks.
If the root of the weeds is not fully eradicated, the weeds are going to grow back regardless of which method is used. To kill weeds permanently, the roots must be killed or pulled entirely. Before you attempt to do any other repair work on your patio, it's best to take care of the weed problem first. If your patio has severely deteriorated, you may want to think about getting some estimates from a contractor or a handyman, especially if the job may be too physically challenging for you to do it yourself. It will be hard to make any determination on what's best for the job without actually seeing the patio, and the state of its condition. The estimates are free without any sale pressures nor obligations to hire, whichever option you decide to repair or replace. Also, what you can do is take photos of your patio, and go to a home improvement store (Home Depot, Lowes, Menards or whichever store is located in your area), show the pictures to a salesman and they will recommend and select a product for you, that's best for the job.
Thank you.
I use regular vinegar, and tables salt. It sure doesn’t dissolve. Maybe that’s why you recommend the sea salt.
I was using regular table salt and it clogged the sprayer so I’m not gonna do that anymore. I’m just going to toss salt on top of the weeds after I spray.
@@dcwatashi my hasnt clogged. Maybe I won’t use it anymore. I might do the same. I’ve had two containers with 1 cup salt each, to dissolve. It rained for the last month, so I hope it won’t be a prob. and it is still good.
@@ritagamez3732 it’s not worth it to take a chance and get it clogged. I couldn’t believe how long it took my neighbor to unclog the little nozzle.
You can just use a salt shaker and after you get the weeds wet just sprinkle the salt on top I think it’s actually a better application anyway because then you know you’re getting salt on those weeds. Someone mentioned that, they just use salt. They don’t even use the vinegar. I might try a test of that , that would be less expensive for sure.
I was going to try method In video and am reading in lots of comments that the salt clogs the sprayer. I wonder if you boiled some water with salt before hand, let it dissolve and then mix with vinegar, would that prevent the clogging? I think so. Then I wondered how well sea salt dissolves in boiling water so I’ll try it. I’ll put some sea salt in my coffee grinder and make sure it’s finely ground and then boil in half a gallon of water and will fill the rest of sprayer to the top with this vinegar. I’m sure that’ll fix the clogging issue. Anyway, hope this suggestion helps someone.

i love dipping my caulk in cracks an filling them up! lol
great video im going to do mine.
Ha!! It's funny because it conjures up images of an adult situation
I kinda like the look of grass growing in sidewalk cracks. Moss too.
You could dilute the vinegar with 3 gallons of water. It would make a little over a 10% solution of vinegar and it would still be much stronger than standard white vinegar. And that gallon of vinegar would go very far. I’m going to try this on some weedy patches where my dogs go, so I don’t want dangerous chemicals.
In concrete areas, just put salt. Make sure salt won't reach nearby trees.
I'm doing this for my patio! Thanks for the tips!

YEP! ROUND-UP causes cancer and is not safe for humans/ pets/wildlife. People just use it SO much and have no idea the damage they are doing nor the risk to themselves.
be careful in areas with lots of thaw freeze cycles with moisture those expansion joints need to be filled with something very flexible or you will have a costly problem when your concrete slab heaves.

Table Salt, ONLY. It’s super cheap, it’s readily available. You just pour it along the crack. You’ll rarely have to redo it. One year I used a bucket of salt grit and made a 4 inch barrier around my raised bed that I placed on my lawn. There was no grow back of grass, no edging to trim for a couple years.
That’s bc salt dries up the water but isn’t killing anything. You want the vinegar to deteriorate the plant faster for decomposition
@@Just_A_Name14 in the contrary, it kills. I live in Ireland where it rains a LOT. The water doesnt go anywhere and the salinity kills the plant. Read my other comment again… I had no grow back for a long time.

The cost of buying all those chemicals, and the time you've spend mixing it, you could've bought a gallon of ready-made Roundup Clear Ground Weed Killer solution, which would have been a lot cheaper, and a time saver.

The point is not using toxic weed killer.
Not a bad video. Unsure why it was suggested to me but regardless. Nothing to really comment on other than this. I feel that the motar mix you've put into the gap hasn't really done much other than make it look nicer. You still ultimately have a valley in which probably has happened or will eventually happen where particles of soil and other bits will drift into that valley and once seeds have joined that mix will eventually just repeat what you had before. Perhaps I'm wrong? I'd have thought filling the gap in and making it smooth and level would outright prevent this problem.
First question is, is this safe for dogs. Second different topic is, how to get rid of weeds in between fences permanently?
Good morning, just poured a cup of coffee and am sitting down to answer any and all questions for the DIY community.
You will want to keep dogs away from sprayed area for a day. You can spray this mixture between fences however it’s likely that the grass will grow back in a few months.

For killing the weeds....Gasoline works just as well and evaporates within 24 hours to leave no residue. Boiling hot water also works just as well, but is a little bit dangerous due to the potential for burns and uses quite a bit of energy to bring the water up to temp.
1 was going to try method In video and am reading in lots of comments that the salt clogs the sprayer. I wonder if you boiled some water with salt before hand, let it dissolve and then mix with vinegar, would that prevent the clogging? I think so. Then I wondered how well sea salt dissolves in boiling water so I'll try it. I'll put some sea salt in my coffee grinder and make sure it's finely ground and then boil in half a gallon of water and will fill the rest of sprayer to the top with this vinegar. I'm sure that'll fix the clogging issue. Anyway, hope this suggestion helps someone.
Thanks for watching, haven’t tried the boiling method before. Please keep us posted. 👍
I like to do things properly so i remove the cement and do it again
I just spayed mine with "ALL CLEAR" good for over a year.
Why not cut out weeds and caulk ? no waiting? But sometimes i like to do things the difficult way!...
Thanks for watching Clint.
Good job, mate. Thanks a lot.
Love this info-and the sun protectant product tip, too! Just an fyi…one uses a broom, but the action / verb is to sweep. (English teacher can’t help herself! Sorry!)
Thanks for watching…we only have a broom! 🙁

No need to be sorry. Keeping the English language alive is a worthy endeavor. I love the language, and it has taken a huge hit in the last decade. It seems everyone is speaking their own version of it these days! I appreciate you!
